"Commander Wang, the head of the military region said when we came here that you have experience in fighting the Japanese. So, from now on, the two thousand people in the guard regiment will be your soldiers. We will fight how you say, without even frowning."
, Even if the entire regiment is wiped out, I will not hesitate!" Commander Zhou of the guard regiment quickly flashed a look of determination on his face and promised.
Wang Ping was not polite. He pointed to the northeast corner of the Japs station and analyzed: "Look there, there are a lot of cars and baggage trucks parked there. It must be the station of the Japs baggage troops! Tonight, we will kill the Japanese and puppet troops' baggage troops!"
Captain Zhou's already frowning frown instantly deepened, and he reminded with a worried look on his face.
"If it's just a baggage unit, there will definitely be no problem. But, Commander Wang, there is at least an infantry brigade of the Japanese and a regiment of the Imperial Army stationed there!"
"Including the baggage troops, the total strength must be more than 3,000, and there are three armored vehicles serving as fixed firepower points next to the station. With so many Japanese and puppet troops, and with such powerful firepower, can we kill them?"
"I'm going to fight even if I can't!" Wang Ping replied firmly, without the slightest hint of discussion!
Commander Zhou gritted his teeth and replied: "Then fight! Commander Wang, give the order!"
As it gets later and later, the military camp, which has been noisy for several hours, slowly becomes quiet.
After dinner, Major General Yoshino drank a bottle of sake and fell asleep early because he was in a good mood. A simple command post was set up in a tent, except for a few staff officers on duty who looked drowsy and stood guard in front of the combat map.
Everyone else fell asleep.
"Woooooooo..." At this moment, the scream of a string of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded in the air.
The on-duty staff officer who was not sleeping soundly was immediately awakened. The artillery staff officer in the middle reacted the fastest and shouted directly.
"Baga, it's a shelling, we are under attack!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." Soon, a violent explosion sounded from the artillery position not far away, and the powerful shock wave caused the tent to tremble.
The artillery staff officer's shocked face suddenly turned pale and he continued to shout.
"It's a large-caliber mortar? How is it possible? How can Tubal Road be equipped with large-caliber mortars! Contact the artillery immediately, counterattack, and be sure to destroy the Eighth Route Army artillery positions!"
"Rumble..." As soon as he finished speaking, more explosions began to sound in the station. Not long after, the northeast corner of the station was illuminated by a large number of fireballs from the explosion, some of which were caused by the explosion of artillery shells and some of which were ammunition.
The fire caused by the explosion.
Many soldiers were torn to pieces by shells while they were still sleeping.
"What's going on? The station is under attack!" Suddenly, Major General Yoshino's nervous and angry voice sounded from the door of the tent.
"It's the northeast corner of the station. No specific information has been reported yet. However, I am sure that the artillery attacking the northeast corner is no less than ten large-caliber mortars, all of which are powerful heavy mortars!"
"I have ordered the artillery unit to launch a counterattack on the spot. I believe good news will come soon!"
"Yoshi!" Major General Yoshino looked much better, but still ordered firmly.
"Immediately find out who is attacking us and try to eliminate them. If the main force from Tubal Road to reinforce the arsenal comes, then there will be many variables in our next attack on the arsenal, Bageya Road!"
"Hi! I'll go make arrangements right away!" the staff officer on duty replied immediately.
Less than five minutes after I rushed out of the tent, a lieutenant from the artillery battalion rushed over.
"General! The captain asked me to report that the heavy mortars on Tubal Road are all deployed on the other side of the mountain three kilometers away. Due to the shooting angle, our mountain field artillery cannot hit them at all. Unless we use mortars.
Counterattack, but the range of the mortars we are equipped with is limited, and we must advance 1.5 kilometers to the Tubal Artillery Position before we can counterattack!"
"Nani? This is impossible. We have so many mountain guns that we can't even deal with more than a dozen mortars. How is it possible?" Major General Yoshino shouted in disbelief.
Just when he was about to continue scolding, the staff officer on duty rushed in with a lieutenant panting.
"General, this is the liaison officer of the Fifth Infantry Group. He is here to report the situation!" the staff officer on duty pointed at the lieutenant beside him and reported.
The lieutenant immediately reported: "General, the artillery fire on Tubal Road is too fierce. In addition, ammunition is constantly being exploded at the station. The troops have suffered heavy losses. Please reinforce!"
"How many Eighth Route Army troops are attacking you!" Major General Yoshino asked sharply.
"Not yet!" The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, then replied slightly embarrassed.
The artillery lieutenant's answer had already made Major General Yoshino furious, and he had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger. Now that he heard the infantry lieutenant's very irritating answer, he finally couldn't help but curse.
"Bagya Road! Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs? You don't even see the shadow of the enemy's attacking troops and you need reinforcements. A shelling scares you like this, are you still the well-trained imperial army of the empire? Cowards
, they are all a bunch of cowards!”
"Go back and tell your captain to disperse immediately and prepare for battle!"
After the infantry lieutenant left, Major General Yoshino's anger subsided a lot. He stared at the artillery lieutenant and asked: "Besides counterattack with mortars, is there really no other way to kill the Eighth Route Army's heavy mortars?"
"Hi!" The artillery lieutenant answered bravely, facing Major General Yoshino's almost murderous gaze.
"Then counterattack with mortars! The 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 3rd Regiment of the Imperial Association Army, and the 1st and 2nd squadrons of the Zhuang Squadron will escort you forward 1.5 kilometers. Tell your brigade captain to gather a sufficient number of
Mortars, destroy the heavy mortar troops on Tubal Road in one go!"
"The power of heavy mortars is too great. If they are allowed to bombard us around us, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
It didn't take long for more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops to break out of the station under the escort of three armored vehicles.
These Japs didn't expect that Wang Ping was hiding right in front of them.
More than three thousand people were lying in ambush in the middle of the mountains and forests, motionless.
The originally roadless forest was cut out of three roads by the crushing force of three armored vehicles.
For more than two thousand days, the puppet troops advanced along three roads at a trot.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out in the woods on the side of the Japanese and puppet troops, and then the sound of intensive machine gun fire reached their ears.
In the darkness of night, the flames ejected from the muzzle of the machine gun were particularly clear, directly forming a tongue of flame.
At a glance, there were at least fifty light and heavy machine guns around them.
The dense tongues of fire intertwined with each other to form an airtight net of bullets. In just a few seconds, the Japanese and puppet troops who were caught off guard suffered hundreds of casualties.
When the machine gun was killing the Japanese and puppet soldiers holding torches, the rifleman picked up the grenade placed next to the rifle as soon as the bullets were fired from the chamber, pulled the gun, and threw it out.
